In addition, [[Microsoft Office]] XP and Office 2003 installed [[Lernout & Hauspie|L&H]] Michael and Michelle voices. The SAPI 5.1 SDK installs 3 more voices, ''Mike'', ''Mary'', and an additional testing voice known as "Sample TTS Voice" that uses prerecorded voice recordings instead of synthesized voices. [[Windows Vista]] includes [[Microsoft text-to-speech voices#Microsoft Anna|Microsoft Anna]] which replaces Microsoft Sam and sounds more natural and intelligible. It is also installed on Windows XP by [[Microsoft Streets & Trips]] 2006 and later versions. The Chinese version of Vista and later Windows client versions also include a female voice named [[Microsoft text-to-speech voices#Microsoft Lili|Microsoft Lili]].
